What tropical fruits are there? (The more pictures and names, the better)

Mango is the most common fruit in Hainan Island. The optimum growth temperature of mango is 24 to 30 degrees. When the temperature is lower than 10 degree, the growth will stop. Hainan Province is the largest mango planting area in China, mainly concentrated in Lingshui and Baoting.

India has the highest mango production in the world. Legend has it that a devout Buddhist in ancient India dedicated his mango garden to Sakyamuni as the resting place of the Buddha, so mango patterns can often be seen in ancient Indian Buddhist temples. It is said that the first person to spread mango from India to China was a monk, the Tang Priest in Journey to the West. The "pineapple fruit" of the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty is today's mango.

2. rambutan

This kind of fruit is rarely cultivated in China, only Baoting and Sanya have a small amount of cultivation. Red fruit has long hair and pulp close to litchi, but not as good as litchi. When peeling, grab the upper and lower ends of rambutan by hand and unscrew it gently like a bottle cap.

The pulp of rambutan is not as easy to separate from the core as litchi. When eating, bite slowly with your teeth layer by layer, and be careful not to bite the stone. There is a brittle protective film on the stone connected with the pulp, so it must be removed when eating, because it is not easy to digest in the stomach and it is easy to scratch the gastrointestinal lining.

3. Lotus mist

At first glance, this kind of fruit looks like red pepper, which is native to Malay Peninsula, also known as peach and apricot. Lotus seeds produced in Taiwan Province Province are the best quality lotus seeds in the world. In addition to the common red, there are milky white, turquoise, pink and black.

Lotus mist can be eaten directly, as a cold dish, or you can dig a hole in the middle, stuff it with minced meat, and steam it over high fire for 10 minute. You can also soak the slices in salt water, and then fry them with cucumber and carrot slices.

Lotus mist has the effects of moistening lung, relieving cough, eliminating phlegm, cooling blood and diuresis. It is also very effective to sober up.

4. Daqingxi

The scientific name is Maoyezao, also known as Daqingzao in Taiwan Province Province or Sweet Jujube in Taiwan Province Province. Its volume is much larger than that of ordinary jujube, and the weight of a single jujube can reach 100 to 400 grams.

The growth of jujube requires high temperature. The optimum growth temperature is 20 to 35 degrees. Mature in winter and can be stored at room temperature for more than 10 days. Refrigeration can keep fresh for 30 days.

Radix Isatidis is neither cold nor hot, and it is rich in nutrition, and has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, calming the heart and calming the nerves. It's better to peel when eating. It tastes best when the skin is green. If it is left for a long time, the skin will turn yellow, but the pulp will not regenerate and become brittle, and the taste is poor.

5. longevity fruit

Also known as ginseng fruit. Formerly known as cantaloupe. Jujube, as big as the mainland, has purple stripes on its golden skin, just like watermelon.

Longevity fruit is a fruit with high nutrition, high protein, high zinc, low fat and low sugar. When eating, wash with water and eat with skin to ensure that nutrients are not lost. The taste is not very sweet, but it has a faint smell of eggplant and melon. In addition to eating directly, it can also be cold, steamed in a cage and fried with sliced meat.
